A More Affordable Higher Education
Many schools say they are committed to making a college education more affordable. At Mansfield University, we’re actually doing something about it. We’ve lowered our tuition pricing for the 2019-20 academic year. We’ve also lowered our on-campus housing rates and added additional room options for our students. You can see the details in the table below. Keep in mind that these prices are before financial aid awards are applied. Most of our students are eligible for scholarships, merit awards, or other institutional aid that reduces the cost even further. At Mansfield University, we take pride in making our high value education more affordable for our students and their families.
